Kim is down to earth and very professional. She is stealthy - didn't notice her climbing everywhere to get that perfect photo! She made us feel comfortable and at ease. She's hands on and will assist with anything. Don't know how to put a boutonniere on your brother or bussle your dress? Don't worry, she's got you covered! She knew all the best places to take photos at Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge. She had recommendations for other vendors that would work with what we wanted (cake, flowers). Very flexible in her packages. We received a few teaser pictures the next day to share with friends, family (or social media) and they are amazing. Can't get over how amazing she is at what she does!

Elopement Day!!
Kim was incredible since day 1. She was always very quick to get back to me and basically helped us plan our whole elopement. She’s a local so she know’s all the best places and people to go with for your big day! Our pictures are absolutely stunning and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Kim is so kind, funny and incredibly talented. We enjoyed every second of our day with her. If you’re looking for a photographer, definitely go with her!! I’ve attached just a few of our favourites however we’re absolutely in love with all of them!
Thanks for everything Kim!

Fantastic experience with Kim
Kim was extremely professional and detail oriented. She had a clear plan in place for the day, kept us on schedule and delivered amazing results. She even had the wedding party and family members' names memorized when she arrived! We had about a dozen "sneak peak" photos immediately the morning following the wedding and over 800 edited photos sent via e-mail and a personalized USB with small accent gifts mailed to us within 8 weeks. I had multiple wedding guests comment on how amazing Kim was throughout the day and afterwards. I would absolutely recommend her to shoot any event large or small.

Professional and Helpful
Kim didn't get to shoot our wedding, due to circumstances out of her control (from our end, not hers), but I have to recommend her anyways! She was so helpful and prompt in her correspondence and came up with many different ideas and solutions that would work for us. Kim works hard at understanding what makes a client feel comfortable. I would have loved to work with her further. Thank you, Kim!
